Don't Yell at Children! How to Resolve Conflicts with Children and Make Them Listen to You

"Don't yell at children!" — easier said than done. Conflicts and disputes are an integral part of life in any family. It doesn't matter how old your children are — four or fourteen — there will always be a reason for a disagreement between a child's opinion and a parent's. Often, in a conflict situation, adults snap and start shouting. But yelling at children is pointless.

Daniela Novara, a certified Italian psychologist with vast experience, believes that conflicts can be beneficial for personal development and the formation of healthy relationships within the family; one just needs to learn how to "experience" them correctly. This book contains practical advice on how to communicate with teenagers and school-age and preschool children, taking into account their psychological characteristics, and how to learn to keep yourself in check when it seems that there are no more forces left.
